    I guess people can't say that there's never been a militant atheist anymore.

The difference here is that this person was effected by subconscious triggers, if it was about their faith at all, if he was effected at all. Nobody went out to target people to kill them for what they said or believed. This isn't militant atheism at all.

Trigger happy people shoot others every single day. A local area near me had a teacher pull a gun on some person in a drive through over them taking too much time at the window. Not everything is triggered by the person having some deep hidden racism.
